Introduction
I’ve put together a collection of playlists that represent my taste in music, particularly focusing on KRnB and KPOP genres. These playlists consist of four categories: two are tailored to my personal preferences in KRnB and KPOP, while the other two feature more general KRnB and KPOP tracks. The selection of these playlists is based on my deep love for KRnB and KPOP music.
The personal playlists are curated by Spotify, using my listening history to tailor the content to my tastes. On the other hand, the broader KRnB and KPOP playlists are popular among a wider audience.
With this collection, I aim to analyze and understand the differences between KRnB and KPOP. I’m also interested in exploring why I prefer certain KPOP and KRnB tracks over others. This analysis will help me gain insights into my music preferences and the unique characteristics of these genres.

Energy Distribution
In this plot I pulled in data of 4 different playlists:
- My Personal KrnB playlist
- My Personal Kpop playlist
- A popular KRnB playlist
- A popular KPOP playlist
Let’s first look at the personal playlists by selecting that option in the plot legend.
What we see is that, on average, KPOP songs tend to have higher energy levels compared to KRnB. But there’s a catch – there’s some overlap between the two genres. This means that a KRnB track could have the energy level typical of a KPOP song, and vice versa. It goes to show that energy level is just one factor among many that define a song’s genre.
Now, when we switch over to the general playlists, things look different. The songs seem more spread out across energy levels compared to the personal playlists. This suggests that personally, I might have a specific energy level in mind when picking KRnB or KPOP songs for my playlists. It’s all about personal taste and what vibes with me the most.
Acousticness Comparison
Looking at the plot, it’s clear that KRnB songs tend to have higher acousticness compared to KPOP tunes. There’s just a small sliver of overlap between the acousticness of KRnB and KPOP tracks. Also, notice how the range of acousticness for KRnB songs is wider than that of KPOP. This suggests that KRnB artists have more leeway in using different instruments compared to the more structured sound of KPOP.

Summary
In this plot i hyposthesised that energy and loudness had a correlation and it was shown to be indeed the case, this is even more shown by the regression line that is ran through the data points. You can also see a slight boundry line being present between kpop an krnb songs. Besides that there is again 1 outlier but in this case i want to highlight the 1 kpop song that falls in the krnb category in terms of loudness
